20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

Long before George Lucas got his hands on a green screen, the go-to solution for creating larger-than-life background visuals involved some incredibly gifted artists producing outstanding matte paintings.

Along with the unquestionably gorgeous Bespin metropolis seen behind the Millennium Falcon as it lands, the eerie chasm within the city (which plays host to Vader and Skywalker's game-changing duel) was also largely brought to life through astounding paintings.

Even with that knowledge in mind though, it's still fairly hard not to get lost in a beautifully realised setting that feels about as real as the world outside your window.
